Accord delivered strategic restructuring advice
“Accord Services helped us restructure our business and helped us avoid creating problems later down the track. They showed us what to do when an employee put obstacles in the way of the process. Their advice was invaluable every step of the way.”
Accord ensured our HR team was compliant with updated policy
“Social networking makes a positive contribution to our company, however, we hadn’t communicated the ground rules to employees and didn’t know where to start. Wendy at Accord gave our HR Manager the right paragraphs to add to our contracts and updated our Health & Safety policy in parallel.”
Wendy advocated for me at a stressful time
“From first contact with Wendy she has been truly amazing, professional and helpful in her endeavours to remedy my situation. It was not easy to deal with my employer but, as my representative, Wendy showed courage and care to ensure my needs where met and satisfied.
I highly recommend Wendy for any employment dispute/situation as she is obviously very experienced and sensitive to an employee’s plight.”
